FWD
is the abbreviation for Front Wheel Drive. Front wheel drive cars
use CV joints extending from the transmission to provide
power to the front wheels. FWD cars generally have more 'predictable'
and easy handling over RWD (Rear Wheel Drive) cars. Which is why it is found on most
small cars and family vehicles. A drawback to more powerful front
wheel drive cars is a phenomenon called 'torque steer'.
